I will fully admit that I was wrong saying there was no way we would offer him a qualifying offer. But it appears that I was actually correct saying that we shouldnt, but my reason why was COMPLETELY wrong. Gausman looks like the real deal. He looks to have figured things out, and the sample size is getting to the point where its large enough for me to believe this. But its now obvious that a QO was wrong and we should have just signed him to a multi year contract.

He got $18M for one year. He loves it here, and he absolutely would have signed a 3/$30-$40M or something in that neighborhood. If he keeps this up, there is zero chance we would be able to sign him for that. His market will be substantially higher than that if he pitches close to this level all year.

Bummer.

Omg just stop lol.

Im not wrong here. You know it.

everyone's fav Belt with the RBI single 2-1

A Tuesday day game seems weird.

fcuk i forgot they're playing already..

You are 100% wrong.


There is no guarantee Gausman re-signs if not for the qualifying offer. For that reason alone, the move makes sense, but there are many more benefits than detriments to doing so.

error

Sweep! Good W.

2-fer

🧹🧹

If anyone would've told me we would have the best record or tied by this time of the season I would've said you're high on multiple drugs lol

Imagine thinking this was a 70 win team, lol

Always love when the Rangers come to town for 2 and we win both.

Casali is my MVP offseason acquisition (lol not MVP of the team just the move. Buster is the MVP so far )

He is a solid defensive Catcher and carries that needed presence. One that can control the pitchers, get them in their grove (he's a hell of a framer too). I really think adding his veteran presence in the squat has been a huge benefit to our rotation and pen.
last year it was painfully obvious Bart lacked that knowledge. When to talk to your pitch and get him reigned in.
I know Bauer has called him his favorite big league catcher that he's worked with too.

Another solid Farhan move! Wood would be my runner up. La Stella was just starting to heat up. But in other areas that get overlooked in the game I love that they brought in a good backup Catcher. He won't wow ya at the plate but he's a great defensive catcher.

A stress free 9th for McGee?? Unheard of...

Can you guys like.......not?

Haha
